Subject: [PATCH] fix(kilo): Fix malformed YAML in .kilocodemodes file
 generation

ref : https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD/issues/1154

- Properly escape customInstructions content in KiloCode mode entries
- Replace newlines with spaces to prevent YAML parsing errors
- Escape double quotes in instruction text
- Wrap customInstructions value in quotes for valid YAML format

The issue was caused by direct injection of agent-command-header.md content
containing unescaped newlines and special characters, resulting in malformed
YAML structure with repeated "Read the full YAML from" text fragments.

Fixes: Malformed .kilocodemodes YAML file generation
